About This Access Site
The State Highway 32 boat ramp provides access to the Flint River, a large seventh-order stream that flows through Lee County, Georgia. The Flint River is a substantial waterway with an average flow of over 9,000 cubic feet per second and a drainage area of 7,640 square miles. At this location, the river has an average velocity of 3.78 feet per second with a modest gradient of 2.4 feet per mile, indicating a moderate current that paddlers should be prepared to manage.

This ramp location is situated approximately 452 miles upstream from the river's mouth, placing it in the middle reaches of the Flint River system. The river in this area supports various boating activities given its size and flow characteristics. Boaters should be aware that the river maintains a consistent current and has significant depth in most areas, making it suitable for motorboats and larger vessels as well as paddled craft.

Access via State Highway 32 suggests convenient roadside access for launching. The river's substantial discharge and moderate slope make this a suitable location for recreational boating, though paddlers should respect the current and flow conditions typical of a river of this magnitude.
